what has happened with Siri on ios27 Apple Watch? Takes forever to respond and when (or if) she finally responds, she can’t even do basic tasks like add a reminder without running into “technical issues”. I thought maybe my series 9 was short on processing power but I just got the series 12 and it’s still the same issues. Very disappointed in this update.

After seeing some things that I attribute to the Siri AI Beta being a beta not final release, I disabled that and enabled the non-beta Siri in my Series 11 watch and it works fine as it did before. The OS 27 Siri beta has a number of issues which users will see if they use it. Some are ok with that but if you are not, switch it off and turn on the non-beta version of Siri.

Turn off Siri AI.

Turn off Siri. When you turn it, choose Siri Classic.

Try it again after Siri AI is fully baked. As a beta, it still has quite a few issues.

The new Siri AI experience rolling out with watchOS 27 and iOS 27 is a major under-the-hood architectural shift transitioning Siri from a basic command-line trigger to a deeper, context-aware AI assistant.

Beta Stage & Early-Stage Bugs: The new Siri AI features are still heavily in rollout/beta phases, meaning users frequently encounter technical glitches, dropped commands, and failure-to-connect errors when trying to execute native actions like reminders or notes. 

It’s still painfully slow on 27.2
